2013 Milan-San Remo, 17 March (298km)

[gruppeto993]

as much as I would like to see the race go on, what makes it MSR has been taken out! The distance is short and there is no LeMaine. All the sprinters should have their hopes up now

 

[spalco]

The race is not cancelled yet?

THey finally started again a moment ago.

eta: I think. Or was that recorded footage?

 

[gruppeto993]

Lars Bak has this in the bag.

Would love to see him win!
The teams who don't have riders in the break will be regretting it now

 

[hrotha]

And some posters are worrying about shortening the race.

What does that have to do with anything? So Boonen doesn't feel like his chances at winning MSR are good enough to jeopardize the rest of the classics season. Doesn't mean MSR might well turn out to be far too easy, even with the cold and the rain.

Payed 20 times more than in 1988 and yet 20 times less balls.

While I love the images, I have to say that day it was a miracle no one was seriously injured or worse.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Amador and Vandenbergh out

When does global warming get to Europe so we can have some cycling?

Global warming = increased precipitation through greater evaporation, and that falls as snow in mountainous areas!

The break has set out. Peloton waiting for the 7:10

Slagter & Boonen DNS!!

 

[Lexman]

Lars Bak has this in the bag.

[Leadbelly]

Declan Quigley - that's a pleasant surprise in the commentary booth.

We don't have mountains in Denmark, and still we have had a lot of cold and snow this winter/spring/last autumn....

 

[Miburo]

And the tv connection...

 

[wwabbit]

Peloton has set off, the race is on again

The steephill and cyclingfans links to English video ends with the Dutch or Italian feeds.

Anyone have an English link?

Even without helmets that is.

Just making a point, not asking for agreement.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Too bad Andy Hampsten isn't riding today!

Boonen says 100 riders got dropped before they had to stop.

And you're saying Cav will win this...

 

[gruppeto993]

they should have brought any schleck to this race

 

[ultimobici]

115km to go, can they catch the break in time?

 

[Lupetto]

they should have brought any schleck to this race

He would have abandoned on the way from the hotel to the start.

Boonen says 100 riders got dropped before they had to stop.

And you're saying Cav will win this...

Boonen has always something to whine about when he couldn't win/feels he cannot win

 

[Jancouver]

Wow, the peloton is small, maybe 80?
